"The city gardeners ask John
Colt, state director of relief, to refuse to accept the resignation of Dr. Stone," Agin said. "They feel that a great heart like that
of Abraham Lincoln in 1861 is the thing most needed today. The city of Camden and the unemployed as
well as the relief administration have use for a man with a heart and a
head. After all, it is not what we do for ourselves that make us great,
but what we do for the other fellow. We believe there is something more
than the excuse that 'he
let his heart rule his head' for the demand of County Director Wayland
P. Cramer for
Dr. Stone's resignation and for that reason we ask that
Dr. Stone be retained on the job."

More than 20,000 tomato, pepper and cabbage plants
were given to the city gardeners by Daniel
Deacon, Twenty-seventh street
and Pierce Avenue and more tomato plants will arrive today from the
Campbell Soup Company firms at Mt. Holly for distribution to the
various gardens throughout the city. The Kaighn Avenue Plumbing Supply
Company donated 300 feet of
water pipe to the Pyne Poynt Club, while 2tons of fertilizer were given the gardeners by the Walters Company, of
Philadelphia.

John Emery, president, of the Cox
Club, announced his organization has 137 gardens underway on the old Cox farm on Harrison
Avenue.

I
lived at 2822 Harrison
Avenue from my birth in 1928, until about 1942, when my family moved to Magnolia.

In those years,
Augie Oswald owned the
bar [later known as Jimmy's Tavern - PMC], and they had a daughter, Dolly. I remember that she had a horse, and one day they had the horse in the bar. What excitement!

I seem to remember that Oswald also had a trucking business, and one day, he took us in the back of his dump truck, to see a Shirley Temple movie at the Auditorium Theater, which later became the Rio.
